Easy-to-operate coffee dryer – How SUNSAY helps farmers “simplify” industrial drying technology

In modern agriculture, technology is gradually replacing manual labor to increase productivity and reduce post-harvest losses. However, for the majority of farmers – especially those growing coffee in the highlands – the application of industrial machinery is sometimes still a distant dream, due to the complexity of operation, high investment costs or lack of on-site technical resources.

For that reason, SUNSAY’s easy-to-operate coffee dryer, using horizontal drying technology, was born as a “right-time-right-need” solution. Not only suitable for household and cooperative production scale, the machine also helps users access high technology in the simplest and most effective way, even if they have never operated a drying device before.

SUNSAY's easy-to-operate coffee dryer helps farmers proactively handle post-harvest processing without complicated techniques, saving significant time and effort.

SUNSAY – Accompanying farmers from the first dryers

Few people know that SUNSAY – the famous dryer brand today – started its journey from the stormy days in Go Noi (Quang Nam) in 2013. When rice could not be dried and coffee was moldy due to the erratic weather, SUNSAY’s young engineers began researching and manufacturing the first manual horizontal dryers.

After more than a decade of improvement and perfection, up to now, SUNSAY horizontal dryer is not only a conventional drying equipment, but also a part of the chain of solutions for producing clean, sustainable and export-standard agricultural products. And above all, the machine still retains its original identity: easy to use – effective – economical.

Smart, user-friendly design

The biggest difference of SUNSAY coffee dryer is its user-friendly design, suitable for even those who have never been exposed to modern machinery. The machine is designed in a horizontal grid form, meaning that the coffee layers are contained in a large drying chamber, where hot air flows horizontally or diagonally. This not only helps dry quickly and evenly, but also completely eliminates the manual stirring step – one of the most difficult and laborious steps.

Every part of the machine – from the heating system, the fan, to the temperature controller – is designed with a minimalist mindset. The control panel uses Vietnamese, with clear and easy-to-understand instructions. Users only need to set the desired temperature and start the machine, the rest of the process will take place automatically.

The machine is also equipped with intelligent temperature and humidity sensors, which continuously monitor the quality of the drying batch without manual intervention. This is especially useful in areas where there is a shortage of technical personnel or where continuous operation is required throughout the night during the crop season.

SUNSAY Easy-to-Operate Coffee Dryer – Efficient coffee drying without the need to learn the technique

A big concern when investing in agricultural machinery is: “What is the use of a machine without an operator?” SUNSAY understands this very well, and that is why their technology always comes with detailed instructions – training videos – 24/7 technical support.

Furthermore, because the entire SUNSAY coffee dryer uses PID automatic control system or touch HMI (depending on the machine model), the operator only needs to learn one session to be able to use it proficiently. No need for an engineering degree, no need to know programming – all are designed according to the criteria of “plug in – press button – dry”.

It is this simplicity in use that has helped SUNSAY dryers appear in hundreds of cooperatives from the Central Highlands to the Northwest, where people do not have the conditions to hire engineers but still master the technology, bringing clean, standard coffee to the market.

Cost optimization – Active drying – Protecting coffee bean quality

In addition to being easy to operate, the SUNSAY horizontal dryer also scores points thanks to its clear economic efficiency. While drying coffee outdoors takes 5-7 days and depends entirely on the weather, SUNSAY’s dryer can complete a batch of 2-5 tons of coffee in just 24-30 hours, with uniform dryness, no cracking and no loss of aroma.

The machine’s operating costs are optimized by an intelligent insulation system, high-efficiency blower and the ability to utilize a variety of heat sources: electricity, firewood, coal, steam or indirect combustion. This allows users to flexibly choose according to local conditions and save significantly compared to machines using exclusive fuels.

Not only does it save electricity, the machine also helps preserve coffee better after drying. Coffee beans are dried evenly at 11-12% moisture – ideal for long-term storage or deep processing (roasting, blending, exporting). There is no more hidden mold, burnt edges or discoloration like when drying without control.

Suitable for many scales, easy to upgrade according to production needs

Another outstanding advantage of the easy-to-operate SUNSAY coffee dryer is its flexibility in scale. Depending on the annual coffee output, customers can choose machines from 500 kg/batch to 20 tons/batch. With the modular design, small machines can be upgraded to large machines by adding a drying bin and heating system – without having to replace the entire equipment.

This is extremely useful for cooperatives that are expanding their raw material areas, or small businesses that want to increase capacity according to demand without having to invest from scratch.

The entire machine is designed to be assembled, easy to move, easy to install – suitable for mountainous areas where traffic and space are limited.
